Felix and Fertitta in $145m series-A for Moonbug

The round was led by TMT-focused merchant bank The Raine Group.

Following the deal, the company will accelerate its acquisitive growth strategy. The deal comes three months after the company acquired YouTube channel Little Baby Bum.

Felix is currently deploying capital from its second vehicle, Felix Capital Fund II, which held a final close on its $150m hard-cap in July 2017.
